Paying it forward.
Wrkz Inc. was born from the belief that talent exists everywhere, but opportunity does not. Our journey began with a simple but profound idea – Faith Without Wrkz Is Dead.

Wrkz founder, Eric Meniefield, experienced firsthand how access to mentorship, niche education and training could yield life-changing opportunities. Determined to bridge the digital divide, Eric founded a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering underserved youth and young adults to become leaders in the digital technology and creative marketing industries.
At Wrkz, we don’t just teach skills—Our creators apply their knowledge to support local vendors, transforming both their own lives and the communities around them. Our adaptable mentorship, coaching, and career development platform equips underrepresented individuals with User Experience Design and Content Strategy tools and frameworks vital to keeping pace with the high speed digital economy.
We’re on our way. Each step forward is a testament to the power of faith, hard work, and community. We don’t just believe in change—we are the change.
